Are You the Kid in the Backseat?

The other day I was excited to see what someone was working on, but in explaining that I was trying not to push, I said that I was trying not to act like the little kid in the backseat. You know: “now?” “now?” “…how bout now?”Â But in response, the person said,Â “You’re preaching to the choir! There’s not much I’m involved with where I don’t have the same feeling.”

Well, friends, that just about knocked me over, and still does, several days later.

What a great and wonderful thing, to have that kind of enthusiasm and excitement about your work and your volunteering and your exercise and your family and your friends and your whole life.Â I’m not sure it would have occurred to me to say the same thing about some things – but now that it has occurred to me, I want to be able to say it about everything.
